Is 'Fanny' a suitable name for my fifth?

[CulturallySophisticated]

Hi all,

I'm 25 weeks in with my 5th at this moment in time and already starting to think of names!!! My current kids are Claire, Helen, Julie and Jago - was thinking maybe 'Fanny' if I get a girl as a name for my fifth because Fanny Craddock is an inspiration to me and I want to keep a piece of her legend in some way living on. What do you guys think? xx

But it wold be pronounced La-bee-ah

Vair femminine

I read the thread title as 'Is Fanny a suitable name for my filth?' and wondered why anyone would refer to their vagina as 'filth'.

Just call her minge and be done with it

She will grow up tough

Are you seriously saying you didnt know Fanny was a slang word for a ladies private parts?
Call her Frances and shorten to Franny, but certainly not Fanny.

Molly erm...take a load off, Annie

HTH

Would be perfectly acceptable in France, but guess that's not much use to you!

In the USA, Fanny means bum - I lived there when 'bumbags' were in vogue and was slightly suprised the first time I heard one referred to as a 'fanny pack'.

Was it the 80s? Were they neon green or orange?

peachy PMSL at jo as a middle name

This thread isn't for real, its a wind up.

Willy, Dick and Roger are all lovely if you're looking for boys' names too. Or Randy, that's cute.

I knew an American who had to be tactfully told why greeting new UK colleagues with an enthusuastic 'Hi, I'm Randy' wasn't always such a good idea.

Speaking as someone who's midle name is Frances and got called "Fanny" by her Mum in public. NOOOOOOOOO don't do it to her!!!!!

God, don't ask me!

PMSL!

No!

The only Fanny I know of is foreign and has changed her name to Annie.

Not in a million Years!!!! Please don't torture your child this way!
How about Betsy?

No !!!

A colleague called Virginia once had a junk mail letter addressed to her as 'Vagina'. After that, she was called Fanny at work. She left that company not long after.

I sent a letter to vagina in the US once. spellchecker did that!! well, it suggested vagina and i must have clicked on yes.

i also had to type 1,000 litres of liquid gum as the contents of a container shipment and I typed cum instead. I just held me 'ead up high and did not leave though. (morto tho i was)

That was spunky of you (another think an American may innocently say...)

It's a fan-fucking-tastic name but I'm biased... Would it be short for Cunt or Twat?

well I misread your title as ''is fanny a suitable name for my filth?'' and thought YES! but for a child, no.
